Great restaurant! I love the atmosphere and the nice service. Very friendly and you can trust their recommendations. If you want to eat local food, great service and a nice place to stay - you found it! Got the stampoot and the suddervlees with two adriaan draft beer and can recommend it. Had no space for dessert anymore :( read more

As a tourist this is a good spot but service is so so. Try the Dutch sampler for two read more

This place is such a gem. The concept behind a mother's kitchen is just beautiful. The minute you walk in and see the walls covered with photos of mothers - you feel like you're at home. The service was spectacular- all of the staff was incredibly kind and was accommodating to our English. The group of 3 of us did our ordering family style, and shared a variety of dishes on the menu. Everything was incredible. And the Dutch Apple Pie for dessert is not to miss!!! read more

We ordered the combos and were over the moon pleased with each and every dish. This is what we got: - Egg in the Meadow - Miss Pumpkin - Hotchpotch with spinach or sauerkraut - Suddervlees - Traditional Danish desserts - Chocolate Party dessert All of these were amazing... But I would recommend the sauerkraut instead of the spinach in the hotchpotch dish. Literally mind blown by the kind service and wonderful meal. Would come here everyday if I could. I recommend sitting on the patio during sunset. read more

OMG! What an extraordinary place to visit!!!! We were tired after riding a bike early in the morning and all through afternoon, after visiting Rijksmuseum and many other places. We walked in around 4pm, they told us that they were closed for lunch but would reopen for dinner at five. When my boyfriend went back in to have them hold on to our souvenir from Heineken brewery factory, the staff kindly advised him to make a reservation at five. He didn't think it was necessary, but they insisted. Sure enough, there was absolutely no table left by 5:15pm. He ordered 3 course Annie and I ordered 3 course Bettie. He had hotchpotch and I got suddervlees. It was absolutely scrumptious. I loved it so much, I wanted some more. The chicken soup we had was so warm, and it was perfect for a chilly day filled with biking. My dessert was called Dutch Delight. Yes, YES, YEESSS!!!! It was heaven in my mouth! I loved all those plates, glasses and silverwares that are not matching at all. Usually it would bother me a lot, but this actually made me smile, feeling like I am at my grandma's house. It was our bed and breakfast host's suggestion, and I was glad we decided to give it a shot. It was well worth the bike ride from the other side of the city. read more

For a homely place, the hotchpotch was very filling and more than plenty to even possibly share. They offer more gravy, and the meats were done well. The service was great and informative. Also had their pea soup with ham, which was delicious! It filled me so I definitely had left overs to take back to the hotel, which I later finished as a midnight snack. Not great to eat at as a single diner, but do-able. Takes card. read more

My fav place in Amsterdam. Got the braised beef with potatoes and cabbage, my friend got the pheasant both were excellent.

This place was actually really good. It is the first ever Dutch restaurant that I went to because some out of towners wanted to go to a Dutch restaurant. I ended up really liking the food. The place is pretty small and decorated kinda cool like an old fashioned "mother's house" might look. The plates are all different old fashiony looking and is kinda neat that they are not all one standard plate. I would probably take other people here when they come to visit if they are looking to try some Dutch food. read more

This review is a year in the making. My wife and I were only in Amsterdam for a few days and we alternated between museums and restaurants every day. Moeders blew me away. It's a tiny, adorable space and I'd recommend making a reservation especially for weekends and popular times. We came for the food because every review said that it's truly traditional Dutch - our dinner was really homey and simple comfort food. It was delicious and priced well. I can't say enough about how amazing our waitress was - super sweet, personable and just the right amount of chatty. We ended up being one of the last two couples dining and instead of rushing us out the waitstaff started taking music requests! I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars! read more

- Restaurant with nice Dutch ambiance - The walls are peppered with lots of motherspictures - Dishes are mutley/ mixed (they say that every guest brought some dishes at the opening of the restaurant, that`s why everything ist mixed) - 3 course menu is luxurious (you should try the original Dutch food e.g. Hotchpotch) - Recommended starter: Mama`s happas (very delicious) - Desserts are yummy, too - Very obliging personnel Conclusion: A lot of Lekker food for a very good price! Reservation recommended! read more

My husband and I visited Amsterdam for the first time last week and wanted to get a taste of Dutch food because we'd never tried it before. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, we found this place, which was just a short walk from where we were staying in the Jordaan. We loved it! Very casual mom-and-pop kind of place with very friendly service. We ordered the Dutch sampler (min. 2 people to order it) and received generous sampler portions of each of their Dutch specialties. Everything was so delicious! And very hearty as well. Great food for a cold and rainy night. For dessert, we had the apple pie with ice cream, which the Dutch do a little differently than in the States. It was phenomenal! Definitely give this place a try if you happen to be in Amsterdam. read more

An absolute must every time I am in Amsterdam. Reservations are necessary as it's always busy. I've been a dozen times and tried everything on the menu. I haven't had a bad meal or service. read more

We loved the local food and this was hands down the best meal of our trip throughout Belgium and Amsterdam. Definitely a must try!

Moeders is a tiny, traditional Dutch restaurant. The tables are cramped together, not for romantic setting. However, we went for the food, so no issues for us. Service is good, waitress explained the menu and food came out relatively quick. The name means Mothers, so it has pictures of women all over it. Very convenient to get to get to, just across the street from the tram stop, two stops from the Dam Square. We ordered the mama's happas for starter. It is a variety dish with 5 kinds of Dutch appetizers. The beef stew and spare ribs for main course. Both were cooked perfectly, meat very tender, and excellent flavor. They were not salty at all, which was key for us. Not expensive at all with good portion. You can order a la carte or set 3 course of starter, main entree, and dessert for under 30 euro. Drinks are separate. As with most Dutch places, no tap water so need to orders drinks. We went on Saturday night and they don't accept walk ins, reservation only. They were fully booked. Have to try this place if you are looking for tradition Dutch food in Amsterdam. Make sure to make reservations, don't risk getting turned away. read more

Fantastic Dutch food!!! The food taste like mother's food, we eat well and with satisfaction, the bread basket was warm and came with a garlic sauce, the main dish was composed by two small cocotes with meat in sauce, one in mustard and other meat sauce. The side dishes was smashed apple, smashed potato with cabbage, purple cabbage with cinnamon. Was everything great!! One more detail, we ate with sunset by side a Chanel... better is impossible. read more

The decor and service was very homey and lovely. Great first "dutch" meal! Hearty food for a reasonable Their green pea soup with sausage made Amsterdam's dreary cold wet night so much better. I was lucky enough to snag a seat without reservation but I saw quite a few people turned away so it's definitely better to make a reservation. Definitely worth a visit if you want that dutch home cooked atmosphere! read more

Great is great. Great food and great story. Home cooked comfort food from the Dutch kitchen. Did not have RSVP and later after 7 you should. Very welcoming staff and friendly read more

Very cute restaurant with walls filled with pictures of mom's. I stumbled upon this restaurant around dinner time and they immediately sat us down for two people. There is no reservation needed. This was my first time at a traditional Dutch restaurant and I didn't know what to order. I just went ahead and ordered the small portion of spare ribs and it was delicious. It was definitely more than I expected portion-wise. The large portion can definitely be shared between two people. The steal sirloin was also really good. read more

Our first stop while in Amsterdam and we only have one word.. phenomenal! We had the beef stews and shared the apple pie (*a must try!)

Fantastic!!! Awesome atmosphere and great food. Get the traditional rice dish - although it does not have any rice in it, it is rather a collection of small dishes that encompass the whole menu. Even though the menu says it is for 2 people, we could not finish it all. Bring a picture of your mom and you can hang it on the wall, if you like... read more

Great atmosphere! The food is super authentic. As a tip, make sure you make a reservation because the place is packed for dinner! read more

A nice traditional Dutch restaurant a bit away from the city center. It is clearly a theme restaurant (Moeders is dutch for mothers as you could guess from its name and the decor) proposing mostly middle/northern European cuisine. So if you are a fan of bread dumplings, goulash and the sort, this is the place to go. The deserts are delicious (I recommend the apple pie) and the staff are very friendly. read more

As soon as you know your dates in Amsterdam, book your Moeders reservation! Go whenever you can get in... this place is tiny but busy for a good reason. If you've never had Dutch food get their 2-person tasting menu ("Dutch Ricedish"). My husband and I shared this, leaving absolutely stuffed and wanting to learn how to make Suddervlees, Hachee, and Hotchpotch at home. We tried to squeeze in another night during our trip but just couldn't make it happen. It was the week of King's Day so the city was packed, but we'll be back! This was by far one of the best meals of our entire Amsterdam trip. As a fun bonus, the American couple at the table next to us got engaged just as we were sitting down! read more

A favorite stop when ever we are in Amsterdam. Make a reservation - this place is usually packed with locals.

Tasty authentic Dutch food. This is such a cute spot with great authentic dutch cuisine. We did the Dutch sampler (not called that) but essentially gave you a taste of all the main dutch dishes. It was so good and was a LOT of food for 2 people. The stews were amazing especially the one with onions in it, don't remember the name. The mashed potatoes and sauerkraut was also very tasty. Would highly recommend if you want to try some traditional dutch cuisine. read more

We had dinner here last night at the recommendation of our hotel concierge. Here's the background in English from their website: http://www.moeders.com/pagina.php?m=14&p=14 It's a several block walk from our hotel. There's an entrance on Rozengracht but we didn't recognize it as such so we walked around the corner to the entrance by the canal. There are several tables outside overlooking the canal but there were also lots of smokers, so we went inside. There were three narrow steps up and I was a bit worried about having to go down them after dinner. The restaurant was crowded, but there was a table for two for us. We were given menus. There is an a la carte menu as well as three levels of prix fix: Annie's @ €24, Betty's @ €26 and Corry's @ €28. You have a choice of starter, a main from one of the menus and dessert. Here's the menu in English: http://www.moeders.com/pagina.php?m=14&p=24 , although the options aren't all the same as what we had last night. We were given a basket w/ bread w/ butter and a ripe olive tapanade. I ordered a glass of an Argentine Malbec/Merlot and Alan ordered a dark beer. He ordered Popeye's salad, w/ spinach, pistachios, cranberries, cubes of blue cheese and thin slices of fennel. I can't remember the name of my salad, but it had beets, orange slices, radicchio, lettuces, cherry tomatoes, cubes of a mild feta and paper thin, crispy slices of Serrano ham w/ a light and flavorful dressing. It was delicious. I could eat it day after day. Alan liked his salad. I thought it paled in comparison to mine. We decided to order the Dutch Ricedish, a linguistic play on the Indonesian Rice Table. It offered us tastes of a variety of Dutch dishes, hotchpotch, hachee, sudervlees, red cabbage cooked w/ apples, roasted potatoes, kind of mashed potatoes, applesauce and baked pears. It's offered for two or more. There was enough food for three. We liked what we had, particularly the hotchpotch and roasted potatoes. I found the hachee a bit salty. There was so much food we decided not to have dessert and so did the salads and the ricedish a la carte. The walls and doors are decorated w/ probably thousands of photos people have brought in of their mothers, some framed and some not. China and glassware are mismatched. It's a great, homey look. During dinner we noticed people coming and going through the other entrance and when we left we did too. It was much easier. This was a nice place, one we would return to, although we would order something other than the sampler and have less food. Service was warm and friendly w/ no upselling. When I finished my glass of wine I wasn't asked if I wanted another, which was refreshing. Our neighboring diners were cordial and we enjoyed chatting w/ them. read more

This place was super crowded at 8:30pm. I had a reservation, so I was treated as VIP with a waiting table. My waiter was the niciest, but the food was just ok. I was more thrown off by the presentation than the flavors. I ordered the stampot with spinach. I wasn't crazy about the mash potatoey spinach. It was like a combo dish. Green potatoes?? I do not like them Sam I am, I do not like them even in Amsterdam. read more

Just incredible in every way. The food tasted amazing and was piping hot and fresh when it was brought to our table. The service was friendly, fast, and knowledgeable in all of the dishes. read more

I was so happy for some authentic Dutch food and to visit such an adorable establishment. Moeders means Mothers in English and frames photos of mothers can be found on every inch of the wall. I felt as if I walked straight into Grandma's house with her porcelain china delicately displayed. They have the menu in Dutch and English and our waitress luckily I was with my Dutch friends who were able to converse with our waitress who did actually speak a bit of English. We joked and asked if there were in fact Mother's cooking up a storm in the kitchen but ironically they said all the cooks were men! They offer different 3 course options or you can order individual entrees. Trust me, you'll want to order the 3 course option because you can't find Dutch food in Amsterdam very easily. We started with Mama's Happas which is a variation of 5 small appetizers. It included a well seasoned duck leg, smoked salmon on a piece of toast, a grilled oyster, something that resembled spanakopita, and a brie cheese toast thing. All very delicious. For my entrée I ordered the Hotchpotch which is a Dutch "stamppot" of mashed potatoes (mixed with either spinach or sauerkraut -- I got sauerkraut) served with a sausage, a meatball & a thick bacon. And a side of gravy/meat drippings that you pour over the mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes mixed with the sauerkraut was the perfect balance of sour that paired well with the saltiness of the gravy and meat. Meat and potatoes, can't get any better than that. A very hardy comfort food. But surprisingly the Dutch are pretty slim, haha. For dessert I got the Dutch Delight which is a combination of three old Dutch desserts: mini-curd, small pancakes & "speculaas" (spiced biscuit) ice-cream. The mini-curd came in a whipped vanilla like moose with chocolate and the other was lighter and fruitier ice cream. The speculaas were cute little pancake like rounds topped with honey and powdered sugar. Absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed everything about Moeders and highly recommend it. read more

We made reservations a month in advance, which is a necessity. I had the lamb skewers which were delicious. My husband had the fish of the day, and my daughter had the Hachee. The Hatcher was good, thick and the beef was tender. We weren't sure what traditional Dutch food was, but it was really good. The whole vibe was fun with tons of "mom" pictures. Make your reservations and go! read more

I always used to tease my Dutch friends that their local food is the Febo croquetes or the patat orlog. Not nice, I know. But so far I haven't found a place where I could really tast the real Dutch cousine. Well, since more or less two months I heard about Moeders and their very gezellig atmosphere and proper Dutch food. With that said, I gave it a try and OMG I really don't regret it a all. First let me tell you about their unique decoration: they have portraits with the customer's mothers pictures hanging all over the walls. It does look that they are completely full but there is still space if you want to bring the one of your mum. Their dishes, glasses and so on don't match. They say because when the restaurant opened every customer brought one item. It does the trick, because it all look very anitque and yet very charming. Now changing to the food. If you really want to experience the real Dutch food order the Rijstaffel. It is a mixture of all the specialties: stampot, beef stew, apple mousse, baked peer, sour cabbage and the red one as well, smashed and backed potatoes and sausage.. This is for 2 persons and even though the pans they come in look very small, trust me they are more than enough for two persons. They also have only the stampot with sausage, bacon and meatball and other dishes. Their staff is very friendly and their service is very good. Price wise is also very affordable. I really don't have any point to complain. More as a tip, always remember to book a table in advance. They are always very full. Will for sure come back more times. read more

This is where I take people from out of town when they say they want a traditional Dutch meal. Definitely make a reservation as this place gets packed. Food is very good. I always get the ribs. The fries it comes with are excellent too. Other dishes I've seen there look good as well. A fun atmosphere and reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend. read more

Dutch comfort food. Done in huge portions. Try the traditional Stamppot (hotch-potch) that is a decadent heaping of sausage, mashed potatoes mixed with veg, gravy, and more potatoes. My goodness. Other items such as the beef stews were also richly seasoned and flavourful. Atmosphere is kitschy and warm with lots of pictures and knick knacks dedicated to the restaurant's namesake, mothers. Comfort food the way (Dutch) mom makes it. Oh and did I mention the portions were huge? read more

No complaints whatsoever....except for the stress I felt of all those mothers watching carefully to see if I'll be able to clean my plate...which could prove challenging. read more

One of the few places in Amsterdam with good quality of Dutch food. Friendly personal as well so will recommend this to others.

Split pea soup is amazing. The spare ribs fall off the bone. You must go if in the area.

Don't waste your time or money at this place. We were party of 6 and not one of us was happy with their dish. Poor quality and service. Overpriced and lousy local food. read more

Loved the vibe and loved the food. I had the vegetarian "hotchpotch" although the vegetarian dish of the day (a savory strudel) was far better. The decor is absolutely charming, all the dishware is mismatched as it was brought in by people on the opening day. It's traditional dutch food so not the most flavorful cuisine there is but I was super happy to be able to try it on a trip especially with the vegetarian version. read more
